INTRODUCTION
This study is concerned with practising accountants, that is individuals who are either in practice on their own or
in partnership with others and who offer their services to the public at large rather than to a single employer. It
presents the results of the first detailed and systematic search for accountants in London trade directories
published before 1840. This source material is used to determine the pattern of growth in the number of
accountants and to compare the content of the different series of directories. Further analysis of the data
establishes the length of time an individual or firm continued to be listed in directories. Finally, the genealogy
of those practices which were long-lived is considered in more detail.
The main factor which gave rise to the publication of trade directories was the growth in trade, commerce and
industry. Whereas directories were a useful source of information for the business and wider community at the
time of their publication, they now provide a potentially valuable source of data for the business historian.
However, the content of directories is by no means comprehensive nor is it totally reliable. Possible pitfalls in
the use of directories have been recognised in the literature; see, for example, Norton (1950, pp. 16-24), Shaw
(1978) and Atkins (1990, pp. 130-2). This study of a single occupational group illustrates these and other
potential problems.
The survey is divided into two periods: up to and including 1799 and from 1800 to 1839. The main reason for
this division is that an important series of directories, which became known as The Post Office London
Directory, was first published for the year 1800. This started as an annual alphabetical commercial directory,
but for 1840 and subsequent years a classified trades‟ directory was added. Thus the number of accountants
practising in London from 1840 onwards can be ascertained quite easily. Accordingly 1839 was chosen as an
appropriate cut-off date.
There are other sources of information about the earliest accountants in London. Biographical sketches in Heal
(1931), for the period 1570 to 1800, show that some writing masters also described themselves as accountants
(see also Edwards, 2010). Early texts on bookkeeping and accounting often state the occupation of their authors
and some give additional information about the accountancy services their authors offered (see, for example,
Murray, 1930, pp. 59-66). Wallis (1980) produced a register of accountants derived principally from
eighteenth-century book subscription lists. The identity of those who practised accountancy may also be gleaned
from notices in The London Gazette, newspaper advertisements, obituaries and wills. The first population
census of Great Britain took place in 1801, but the occupation of each person did not have to be stated until
1841 (Interdepartmental Committee on Social and Economic Research, 1951, p. 28). Before 1840, of all the
above sources, only trade directories can provide data on a systematic, consistent and continuous basis, from
which the pattern of growth in the number of accountants over time can be discerned.
Changes in the number of practising accountants will be closely linked to changes in the economic environment
and in the demand for their services. Parker (1986, p. 5) identified four factors of special significance to the
development of accountancy in the nineteenth century: „the growth of large-scale organizations and, in
particular, of the railways; the development of the limited liability company; the high rate of insolvencies; and
the introduction of income taxation‟. Although the railway age began in the 1830s, it was not until the mid1840s that railway companies were regulated by legislation requiring them to produce audited accounts.
Similarly it was 1844 before companies in general could be incorporated by registration with the concomitant
obligation to file audited accounts; subsequent legislation in 1855 enabled most registered companies to obtain
limited liability status. Therefore the first two factors impact on the period after the cut-off date of this study.
Business failures fluctuate with the ebb and flow of the economy. Official statistics show the annual number of
bankruptcies at the end of the eighteenth century and at the beginning of the nineteenth century (Commissions of
Bankruptcy ..., 1822; Bankrupts and Insolvents ..., 1847-48). For the period 1790 to 1799 bankruptcies
averaged 1,002 a year; a peak of 1,956 in 1793 reflected the economic crisis which followed the outbreak of
war with France. Comparable averages for each of the first four decades of the nineteenth century are
respectively: 1,215, 2,079, 1,726 and 1,504. The severe liquidity crisis of 1825-26 caused the number of
bankruptcies to peak at 3,301 in 1826; the figure exceeded 2,500 in only one other year between 1800 and
1839. Bankruptcy law, which until 1861 applied only to traders, was reformed by the Bankruptcy Act, 1824
and consolidated the following year; the impetus for this legislation (and that applying to insolvent debtors who
were non-traders) was „the momentum imparted to the national economy by the Industrial Revolution [and] the
adverse effects of the Napoleonic Wars‟ (Fletcher, 1990, pp. 7-9).

An income tax was first introduced in 1799 to finance the wars against France. It was withdrawn in 1802
immediately after the Treaty of Amiens, re-imposed in 1803 with the resumption of war, and abolished in 1816
after the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815. Initially tax was levied at 2s in the pound, or 10%; when reintroduced it was at 1s in the pound; the rate was raised to 1s 3d in 1805 and to 2s in the pound in 1806, at
which level it remained until abolished. Income tax was revived in 1842 and has remained ever since. A rate
of 10% may seem low today, but it was the highest charged throughout the nineteenth century. For more on the
early history of income tax, see Sabine (1966) and Daunton (2001).
LONDON IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY AND EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY
The population of London grew from some 674,000 at the beginning of the eighteenth century to 864,845 in
1801 (Population ..., 1831, pp. 12-13). It then increased at a much faster rate and reached 1,873,676 in 1841;
throughout this 40-year period London was by far the largest town or city in England and accounted for at least
one in ten of its inhabitants (Abstract of the Answers and Returns ..., 1843, preface, pp. 9-10). This vast and
rapidly rising population was located in an ever expanding area radiating out from the old City of London.
An introductory section to Pigot and Co.’s National London, & Provincial Commercial Directory (1832-34, p.
19) includes a contemporaneous account of the geographical extent of the metropolis in the 1830s: it was
bounded to the north by Paddington, Somerstown, Pentonville, Islington and Hoxton; to the south by
Rotherhithe, Newington, Lambeth and Vauxhall; to the west by Knightsbridge and Chelsea; and to the east by
Bethnal Green and Mile End. Within these limits London could be divided into five parts. To the north of the
Thames lay: the West End, the residential area of the nobility and the rich; Westminster with the courts of
justice, the houses of parliament and government offices; the City, the centre of commerce; and the East End
with its docks and shipping concerns. On the south bank was Southwark with its manufactories producing iron,
glass, soap, hats, etc., and dwellings for those connected with the river.
The end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century witnessed advances in
transportation and communications. Roads within the capital and those leading in and out of it were improved;
many were macadamised. Before 1750 there was just the one crossing of the Thames near to the City, London
Bridge. By 1820 five further bridges spanned the river: Westminster, Blackfriars, Vauxhall, Waterloo and
Southwark, and a new London Bridge opened in 1831. The Regent‟s Canal (1812-20) was cut to link a series of
enclosed wet docks, constructed to the east of the City in the early 1800s, with the rest of the inland waterway
system of Britain. These developments encouraged new industries to set up on the south side of the Thames and
along the banks of the Regent‟s Canal, and also led to the growth of the suburbs. The first railway terminals did
not arrive until towards the end of the 1830s. For further details on the building of London at the beginning of
the nineteenth century, see Saint (1992).
Daunton (1992, p. 35) concludes that London was „the greatest centre of industrial production in Britain and
Europe, before, during and after the industrial revolution‟ and continues by outlining the diverse range of goods
produced. Rudé (1971, pp. ix-x) neatly sums up the unique and superior position of the metropolis during the
eighteenth century and at the beginning of the nineteenth century:
So London, in addition to being a great centre of population, was also a great emporium ... as a
great port, London became not only the great point of exodus for the whole nation‟s produce, but
the point of entry for a large part of the world‟s trade which she, in turn, distributed both to her
own citizens and to the country at large. London was, in fact, not only by far the greatest port in
Britain (handling over three-quarters of the nation‟s trade in 1700), but she remained, throughout
the century, the largest centre of international trade, the largest ship-owner and the largest shipbuilder in the world; through her markets, her trade and her shipping, she became, in the course
of it, the world centre of insurance and banking and, by the end of the Napoleonic Wars, she had
even eclipsed Amsterdam, for long her rival, as the money market of the world.
PREVIOUS STUDIES REFERRING TO ACCOUNTANTS LISTED IN TRADE DIRECTORIES
Trade directories have long been used as a research source by accounting historians. Some have used them
extensively for studies of practising accountants in particular cities: Littleton (1942) for New York, Chicago and
2
Philadelphia between 1850 and 1899; Robinson (1964, pp. 10-25 and 345-53) for Dublin between 1761 and
1888; and Mepham (1988, pp. 49-60) for eighteenth-century Edinburgh. Other authors have used directories on
a more limited basis, see, for example, Parker (2004) and Edwards et al. (2005).
Possibly the first reference to accountants appearing in a London directory was made by Cooper (1886, p. 648):
The earliest mention of a professed accountant I have found in the London Directory is the firm
of Shortney and Millne, Merchants and Commercial Accomptants, who first appeared in 1776.
In 1778 the firm appeared as Shortney and Co., Commercial Accomptants and Agents; in 1779 as
F. (sic) Shortney. In 1785 as Shortney and Son. In 1789 the business of Agents took precedence
of the business of accountants. Neither the name of Shortney nor that of Millne, so spelt now
appears in the London Directory.
In the year 1820, according to the Directory, 44 accountants were in practice in London.
In 1843 there were 160 accountants, the remarkable increase being possibly attributable to the
Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act of 1825.
Parker (1980, annotation 12) revises the initial part of the above statement: „Kent’s London Directory, 1775,
mentions Terence Shortney, Merchant & Commercial Accomptant of 5 Church Row, Fenchurch St., the earliest
known reference to a practising accountant in London‟.
Worthington (1895) is the only historian to have carried out any detailed work on accountants appearing in the
early alphabetical trade directories of London. He cites James Davidson as the sole accountant in one London
directory for 1790, but lists five entries from The Universal British Directory for that same year (Worthington,
1895, pp. 31-2). In an appendix he sets out the names, occupations and addresses of eleven accountants
extracted from Holden’s Triennial Directory for 1799, 24 from the 1809-11 edition and 73 from that for 182224 (Worthington, 1895, pp. 120-5). Brown (1905, p. 234) repeats the figures of eleven and 24 from Holden’s
Triennial Directory for 1799 and 1809-11, respectively, and then, using data from classified directories,
continues: „47 in Johnston’s London Commercial Guide (sic) for 1817, 99 in Pigot Co.’s London and Provincial
Directory (sic) for 1826-1827, and 107 in the Post-Office Directory for 1840‟. Worthington (1895, p. 34)
similarly cites 107 for 1840. These figures imply that the greatest period of growth occurred before 1826,
which is inconsistent with Cooper‟s contention about the importance of the Bankruptcy Act, 1825.
The significance of Worthington‟s and Brown‟s contributions can be seen from the number of subsequent
authors who have relied on the pre-1840 figures over the last hundred years or so. Whereas Eldridge (1911, pp.
202-3), Woolf (1912, pp. 171 and 173), Littleton (1933, pp. 267 and 269), Stacey (1954, p. 18), Edwards
(1956, p. 90) and Howitt (1966, p. 3) quote at least one of Worthington‟s figures, Jones (1981, p. 28),
Macdonald (1984, p. 180), Edwards (1989, p. 259), Boys (1994, pp. 4-5) and Matthews et al. (1998, p. 17)
quote one or more from both Worthington and Brown.
More recently Edwards et al. (2007, p. 67) present, inter alia, the following figures for London accountants
during the first five decades of the nineteenth century: 1800s 11, 1810s 24, 1820s 72, 1830s 130 and 1840s 167,
citing their sources (p. 66) as the existing literature (listed in their references) or directories examined by the
authors (listed in an appendix); in some cases the figures are averages. Consequently it is not known with
certainty how any one number is derived. Since Worthington (1895) is cited in their list of references, it would
appear that the figures for the first three decades are taken from this source, but with a transcription or
typographical error in the number for the 1820s. The figure of 130 for the 1830s most probably comes from
Pigot and Co.’s National London, & Provincial Commercial Directory for 1832-34, which is cited in the
relevant appendix, while that of 167 for the 1840s would seem to be an average derived from issues of The Post
Office London Directory. In addition, there is the inappropriate allocation of data. The figure of eleven from
Holden’s Triennial Directory for 1799 has been assigned to the 1800s and that of 24 from the 1809-11 edition
has been allocated to the 1810s, contrary to the authors‟ explicit statement that „Where directories span year
dates ... the earlier date is deemed the date of the count‟ (Edwards et al., 2007, p. 66, fn. 19).
The pattern of growth in the number of accountants over a given period of time will depend on which of the
above collection of figures is used. Most of the figures are taken from different series of directories and
therefore lack consistency and comparability. These deficiencies make it difficult to reach valid conclusions
about changes in the number of practising accountants in London during the last quarter of the eighteenth
century and the first half of the nineteenth century. This study aims to address previous shortcomings.

LONDON TRADE DIRECTORIES PUBLISHED BEFORE 1840
The most comprehensive bibliography of London directories is provided by Atkins (1990). This source was
used extensively, but not totally relied upon, both for the publication history of directories and for the location
of extant copies. Goss (1932), even though somewhat dated, also proved helpful. The date cited for a directory
is that declared in its title; when no such date appears, the publication date is used.
The first directory, A Collection of the Names of the Merchants living in and about the City of London, was
published in 1677. There was then a long gap before the next, The Directory, was published by Henry Kent in
1734. It was later known as Kent’s Directory and from 1814 as Kent’s Original London Directory. This was an
important work because it was published annually until 1828; for some years there was more than one issue.
Many of the early editions are no longer extant. There were rivals to Kent; before the nineteenth century most
were published sporadically and ran to few editions. One exception was The London Directory. This was
published first by Payne for 1768 and 1769 and then each year by Lowndes from 1772 until the final edition for
1799. There are no known copies of several of the earlier editions. Its title changed to Lowndes’s London
Directory from 1784, reverted to The London Directory from 1788, and became A London Directory from
1793. For simplicity and clarity it is referred to throughout as Lowndes.
In 1790 The Universal British Directory was published. Further issues appeared during the 1790s; these were
essentially reprints of the first edition. A supplement published for 1792 was also re-issued. The original
directory and the supplement formed part of The New Patent London Directory for 1795.
Holden’s Triennial Directory was first published for 1799 and ran to a number of editions. The second was a
reprint of the first with attached addenda corrected up to 28 January 1800. The third, fourth and fifth editions
were published for 1802-4, 1805-7 and 1809-11; some issues of these editions contained supplements for
intervening years. What may have been the sixth edition was published as Holden’s Annual London & Country
Directory for 1811; there are no known copies of the seventh, eighth and ninth editions. The final two editions
of this series, the tenth for 1817-19 and the eleventh for 1822-24, were published by Underhill as the Triennial
Directory. This whole series is referred to throughout as Holden.
The New Annual Directory, first published for 1800, became The Post-Office Annual Directory in the following
year and from 1816 The Post Office London Directory; it is referred to throughout simply as the POLD. The
first 40 annual editions, a few of which ran to more than one issue, were all alphabetical commercial directories.
The first classified London directory was published in 1763; entitled The Universal Director it ran to only one
edition. Of more significance was the publication of Johnstone’s London Commercial Guide for 1817; it failed
to run to further editions, but was re-issued with addenda the following year. This was the first London
directory to contain a classification for accountants, as well as one for agents and accountants and another for
commercial agents and accountants. However, the classified directory has to be used in conjunction with the
accompanying street directory because no addresses are given in the former. Classified entries cross-reference
the appropriate page in the street directory, which lists the inhabitants of each street together with their
occupation. Unfortunately, there are discrepancies between these two directories. Three individuals classified
as accountants are not so described in the street directory. Conversely, four individuals who are each described
in the street directory as auctioneer and accountant appear only under the heading of auctioneers in the classified
directory.
Robson’s New London Directory was published for 1819, followed by Robson’s Improved London Directory for
1820 and Robson’s London Commercial Directory for 1821. These three editions were alphabetical directories.
Robson also published a classified trades‟ directory for 1821. The fourth, fifth and sixth editions of Robson’s
London Commercial Directory for 1822, 1823 and 1824 were again alphabetical directories. A second edition
of the classified directory for 1824 seems to have been published although there is no known extant copy.
There was no directory of any kind for 1825 and the seventh edition of Robson’s London Commercial Directory
was published for 1826-27, the eighth for 1828 and the ninth for 1830. The third and fourth editions of the
classified directory were published for 1828 and 1829. From 1831 to 1843, the final year of publication, there
was an annual edition of Robson’s London Directory. Under the same main title, this came in several versions
each year; it always contained an alphabetical commercial directory. One variant also included a classified
directory, which, evidence would suggest, was published annually from 1831. When both an alphabetical and a
classified directory exist for the same year, there can be inconsistencies between the data in each. For example,
4
those recorded as accountants in a classified directory may not feature at all in the corresponding alphabetical
directory or, if they do, they may be shown as engaged in an occupation other than accountancy. There are also
differences in the detail given about names, addresses and occupations; for example, the alphabetical directory
may state, in addition, the other occupations with which accountancy was combined. The number of these
discrepancies is not insignificant; it is as if the entries for each type of directory were taken from different data
sets. To achieve, as far as possible, consistency and comparability from one year to the next, entries were
extracted from just one of these two types of directory. Initially Robson published only alphabetical commercial
directories and these provide a longer and more complete run of data than his classified ones. Consequently the
former have been used in this study.
The London section of the first edition of Pigot and Co.’s London & Provincial New Commercial Directory for
1822-23 consisted primarily of a classified trades‟ directory. A separate alphabetical listing of names gave the
appropriate cross-reference to the classified directory where addresses could be found. A second and third
edition were published for 1823-24 and 1826-27. The next publication was Pigot & Co.’s Metropolitan New
Alphabetical Directory for 1827, which, as the name would imply, did not contain a classified directory. With a
slight change in title, there was another edition, designated the fifth, of Pigot and Co.’s National London, &
Provincial Commercial Directory for 1832-34, which again was principally a classified directory. There were
then two editions, the sixth and seventh, of Pigot and Co.’s London Alphabetical and Classified Commercial
Directory, one for 1836 and one for 1838. Pigot and Co.’s Royal National and Commercial Directory for 1839
included a classified directory of London. Many of the editions were reprinted and issued for subsequent years.
There are inconsistencies, similar to those in Robson, between the entries in an alphabetical and a classified
directory for the same year. Pigot‟s publications, unlike those of Robson, began primarily as classified
directories and these alone have been used to be consistent over time if not with the other series of directories.
The only other nineteenth-century directory relevant to this study was Boyle’s City and Commercial Companion
to the Court Guide for the years 1802, 1803 and 1804. Each edition listed a solitary accountant, Mr. Gosnell.
DATA COLLECTION AND RESULTS
For the period 1677 to 1839 well over 200 directories, mostly on microfilm, were systematically searched and
entries featuring accountants extracted. In addition, any addenda were scrutinised for relevant entries. All
directories which were consulted, whether or not they contain entries for accountants, are included in the list of
references.
It is a tedious and time-consuming task to search through alphabetical lists of names looking for those few
instances where the occupation is given as accountant. One can but empathise with the comment made by
Worthington (1895, p. 34): „It was with a feeling of relief that the self-imposed and unexhilarating task of
extracting these names was completed‟. It is hoped that the information extracted from the directories is
complete, but it will be appreciated that it is easy to miss the word „accountant‟ or „accomptant‟ when scanning
hundreds of thousands of entries. Occasionally pages are missing from directories or have been omitted
inadvertently in the microfilming process. When it was found that a microfilm was deficient, a hard copy of the
directory was successfully consulted.
Clearly this piece of research depends on the occupational description „accountant‟ appearing in directories. No
doubt some individuals who were in practice as accountants were omitted completely from directories and others
who offered accountancy services were recorded as pursuing alternative business activities.
Eighteenth-century accountants
The first accountant of any description to feature in a London directory would seem to be Mark Thurston, Esq.,
Accomptant General of the Court of Chancery, Helmet Court. He is listed in a number of directories for the
1740s, but of those consulted he appears first in The Intelligencer for 1738 where, because of a typographical
error, his name is spelt Turston.
Most eighteenth-century directories have a section tabulating not only the directors but also, in many cases, the
accountant of the leading companies of the time. For example, A Complete Guide (1744, pp. 138-40) identifies
the accountant to: the Bank of England, the South Sea Company, the East India Company, the Royal African
5
Company of England, the Royal Exchange Assurance, and the London Assurance. Until the mid-1770s such
company accountants were also recorded in the main alphabetical directory. Since this study is concerned with
accountants in practice, all entries for company accountants have been ignored.
Of more relevance is the entry for Thomas Harper junior in The Universal Director for 1763, which, as already
mentioned, is a classified directory. Harper appears in the list of masters and professors of the polite and liberal
arts and sciences, where he is described as a teacher of shorthand and accomptant in Harley Street, Cavendish
Square. This may indicate that Harper taught bookkeeping or that he practised accountancy, or perhaps both.
The preceding entry in The Universal Director is for another Thomas Harper, presumably senior, who was
Master of the Academy in Harley Street and the author of The Accomptant’s Companion (1761).

The next appearance of a practising accountant in a London trade directory does not occur until 1775. Table 1
provides a summary of the entries extracted from Kent for the period 1775 to 1799; there is no known extant
copy for 1790. Table 2 lists entries from Lowndes between 1784, the first year in which a practising accountant
features, and 1799. Entries in these and other tables are not exact copies of those in the directories; instead they
have been standardised, apart from the spelling of proper names, to achieve consistency in presentation. Rather
than a straightforward alphabetical listing, Tables 1 and 2 have been constructed starting with the earliest entry
and adding new names on a chronological basis up to 1799.

Accountants listed in The Universal British Directory for 1790 and in Holden for 1799 are shown respectively in
Tables 3 and 4. The latter includes two names omitted by Worthington (1895, p. 120) and both contain
corrections to the detail he provided. The Universal British Directory for 1790 and Holden for 1799 are not
representative of directories of that time; they contain some 16,500 and 37,700 entries, respectively, compared
with about 6,700 and 9,500 entries in Kent and approximately 7,400 and 9,000 entries in Lowndes for similar
years (all figures estimated to the nearest hundred). One reason for the large difference in the number of entries
in these directories is that Kent had as its catchment area the cities of London and Westminster and the borough
of Southwark, whereas Holden extended its coverage to „Ten miles circular round the METROPOLIS‟ (1799,
title pages). To put these numbers in context, the population of the metropolis in 1801 was 864,845, while that
of the City, Westminster and Southwark taken together was 382,517 (Population ..., 1831, p. 13).
For completeness, entries for accountants appearing in other eighteenth-century directories are set out in
Appendix A; all names listed there have already featured in Tables 1 to 4.
It may be thought convenient to produce a comprehensive table incorporating accountants from all directories.
Such an approach would have destroyed any consistency and would have presented a number of problems. For
example, different directories for the same year contain inconsistent information about names, occupations and
addresses, and it is not possible to establish which is correct. There is a presumption that annually published
7
directories were more accurate and up to date than those issued intermittently. Only Kent and Lowndes provide
reliable and consistent time-series information, from which meaningful conclusions can be reached about the
pattern of growth in the number of practising accountants during the last quarter of the eighteenth century.
Although Table 1 contains few names, presentation is made complicated by the changes in the description of
occupations and by moves to different premises. This is made worse by the apparent confusion over whether
George Black was accomptant to the Bank of England (which he was not) or located near to the Bank. In Kent
for the years 1775 to 1780 only one relevant entry appears, for 1781 and 1782 there are no entries for
accountants and just the one for 1783. Between 1784 and 1789 there are two relevant entries and three for the
period 1791 to 1794. However, for the following five years only two names are listed. This hardly shows
much by way of growth. It should also be borne in mind that the total number of entries in Kent rose from
approximately 5,500 for 1775 to 6,700 for 1791 and to 9,500 for 1799, so proportionately there were no more
firms of accountants by the turn of the century than there were 25 years earlier.
Table 2 contains even fewer entries, but the time-series data from Lowndes does broadly support the position
portrayed by Kent: there was little or no growth in the number of practising accountants in London during the
latter part of the eighteenth century.
Shortney not only heads up Table 1 but also features in early editions of The Times; originally published as The
Daily Universal Register from 1 January 1785, its current title was adopted on 1 January 1788. Shortney first
advertised his services as follows:
ACCOMPTANTSHIP and INSTRUCTION
MERCHANTS and Tradesmens Accounts adjusted, balanced, &c. Books properly opened for
those commencing any Line of Business or Partnership, and such as have been injudiciously
treated, reduced to explicit conciseness; Bankrupts Accounts investigated, and clearly stated;
disputed Accounts elucidated and arbitrated; Captains of Ships Accounts digested preparatory to
settling with their Owners; and Accomptantship in general accurately executed with all due
privacy, by T. SHORTNEY, regular bred Merchant, and a series of many Years a Practitioner of
approved ability in commercial Accomptantship. He superintends, on very moderate Terms, the
future process of Books, regulated or opened by him; and has no objection to receive in Payment,
such Commodities as his Employers deal in.
He also instructs Pupils in the true Principles of Book-keeping, clearly defined through a
systematical Course, on the Ground of actual Business.
Commercial Accomptant Office,
No. 5, Church-Row, Fenchurch-Street.
(The Times, 4 May 1785, p. 1c)
During the next four years well over 100 further advertisements were placed by Shortney in The Times; for the
year 1788 they appeared weekly. His advertisements varied in length and content and not all related to the
services he offered. In June 1786 he notified readers (The Times, 29 June 1786, p. 4d) that he had changed
address from Church Row, Fenchurch Street to 38 St Mary Axe, which confirms the up-to-dateness of Kent (see
Table 1) compared with, say, Wakefield’s Merchant and Tradesman’s General Directory (see Appendix A). In
May 1787 Shortney added the following to one of his advertisements:
Wanted, as an articled Clerk in this Office, a hopeful Youth, who writes an improveable hand,
and has been instructed in common Arithmetic; such cannot miss of acquiring, in his Clerkship, a
general knowledge of Business, as well as being, if properly assiduous, completely qualified for
any employment in the line of Accomptantship. His friends to provide him with board and
lodging. A moderate premium will be required.  An introductory line, in the youth‟s handwriting, addresed (sic) as above, with (sic) be explicitly answered.
(The Times, 10 May 1787, p. 1d)
It is uncertain whether this position was ever filled. A vacancy continued to be advertised for just over two
years. Usually the vacancy was indicated by an additional few lines at the end of Shortney‟s more general
advertisements, but occasionally an advertisement would be addressed to parents and guardians and deal
exclusively with the position for an articled clerk (see, for example, The Times, 10 July 1787, p. 1c).
Shortney‟s advertisements seem to have ceased in the first half of 1789, apart from a final one in 1794. Once
8
again, this was concerned solely with a vacancy for an articled clerk and invited applications to be submitted to
Mr. Shortney at John‟s Coffee House, Cornhill (The Times, 4 April 1794, p. 2b).
Two other accountants listed in Table 1 have a certain claim to fame. After the publication of Jones’s English
System of Book-keeping (Jones, 1796), five works appeared criticising it (Yamey, 1956, p. 314). One, An
Elucidation of the Italian Method of Book-keeping, was by Thomas Knolles Gosnell (1796) and another, An
Examination of Jones’ English System of Book-keeping, was by James Mill (1796). There is no doubt that the
latter is the same Mill who appears in the 1798 edition of Kent, since reference is made to „Mr. JAMES MILL,
Accomptant and Notary Public, of Ball-Court, Cornhill, and Book-keeper at a Haberdasher’s shop in
Cheapside, London‟ in A Defence of the English System of Book-keeping by Jones (1797, p. 76). It would be no
coincidence if those who criticised Jones‟s system were some of the leading practitioners of the day and
themselves exponents of the mysteries of Italian double-entry.
Early nineteenth-century accountants
Names and addresses of practising accountants extracted from directories for the period 1800 to 1839 are
tabulated in Appendix B. Table 5 summarises the number of line entries for accountants from each of five
series of nineteenth-century directories which ran to sufficient editions to make time-series data worthwhile.
When a directory states in its title that it covers two or three years, rather than just one, entries have been
assigned to the first of those years.
Compiling Table 5 was not straightforward. For various reasons duplicate entries may appear in the same
directory. First, there can be two identical or near identical entries for the same individual, sometimes caused
by the slightly different spelling of a surname. Second, there are examples where one directory has two entries
for possibly the same individual at two separate addresses, whereas another records just the one entry for that
individual who is shown as operating from both addresses. Third, an individual who moved premises may be
recorded separately at both the old and the new address. Finally, two individuals in partnership together at the
same address may be listed under both „A & B‟ and „B & A‟; or there may be an entry for the partnership and
another for one of the partners. When counting entries for Table 5, those which were believed to be duplicates
were excluded. There were other problems. Somewhat surprisingly, two females are listed as accountants in
the classified section of Pigot for 1836: Sarah Rowe and Maria Willmott. In the alphabetical section of this
directory Sarah Rowe‟s „occupation‟ is described as „day school‟. Maria Willmott does not appear in the
alphabetical section, but a Maria Wilmott (so spelt) at the same address features in the classified section under
the heading: academies - ladies‟. This evidence suggests that both women were mis-categorised as accountants
in the 1836 classifications; these two entries are not included in Table 5. These examples cast doubt more
generally on the accuracy of the allocation process. Although the vast majority of accountants listed in London
trade directories were in practice, a handful, from their occupational descriptions, seem to have been employed
within organisations and others may have been. No adjustment has been made in Table 5 for such employees.
The figures quoted earlier from Cooper (1886), Worthington (1895), Brown (1905) and Edwards et al. (2007)
all differ from their counterparts in Table 5. Whichever of the three possible directories for 1820 Cooper used,
the figure of 44 was understated. The figures provided by Worthington for 1809-11 and 1822-24 again
understate considerably those found in the present study; these discrepancies can only be put down to a lack of
care on his part when searching the directories. The figure of 47 cited by Brown came from Johnstone’s
London Commercial Guide for 1817. This, as already explained, is a classified directory and contains three
relevant headings: accountants, agents and accountants, and commercial agents and accountants, with
respectively 47, 17 and 4 line entries. The first category includes a possible duplicate entry and one individual,
Maclaurin, appears under two classifications, giving a grand total of 66. Again, Brown used only the entries
under the heading for accountants from Pigot for 1826-27 to obtain his figure of 99; two of these entries have
been deemed duplicates for the purposes of this study. In addition, nine other entries record accountants in
combined occupations under four other classifications: house, land and estate agents; appraisers; auctioneers and
appraisers; and bill brokers. Two of these nine were already included in the 99. Making these adjustments
gives a grand total of 104. Finally, the figure of 130 provided by Edwards et al. from Pigot for 1832-34
represents the number of line entries under the heading for accountants. However, there are seven further
entries which show accountants in combined occupations under two other classifications: agents - miscellaneous;
and auctioneers and appraisers. In addition, an auctioneer and accountant appears in a miscellaneous list of
names at the end of the classified directory for London. Adding all these entries together gives a grand total of
138.

The conclusion to be drawn from these comparisons is that all previous authors have understated the number of
accountants in London between 1800 and 1839.

Table 5 clearly shows a large increase in the number of entries for accountants over the first four decades of the
nineteenth century. Both the pattern of that growth and the absolute numbers differ greatly, particularly in the
earlier years, from one series of directories to another. These differences reflect, at least to a certain degree,
the differences in the total number of entries both between series of directories and over time. For five selected
years an estimate was made of the total number of entries contained in each directory, including any addenda.
The years chosen had to meet two criteria. First, they had to be ones in which at least three series of directories
had been published. Second, they had to provide, as far as possible, time intervals of similar length. The
results are displayed in Table 6. Figures have been rounded to the nearest thousand and often conflict with
those specified in the directories themselves.

Information in directories is not always arranged in the same way from one edition to another. Holden for 1800
includes within its main alphabetical sequence of names some 10,000 entries where no occupation is given or
where it is designated „Private‟. These non-business entries are not included in the 29,000 in Table 6 to achieve
comparability with the figure for 1811, when there was a separate section listing private residences, and with
that for 1822-24, when there was no such list at all. On the other hand, Pigot for 1822-23 contains a totally
separate section, with its own pagination, listing some 3,000 attorneys, consuls, physicians, surgeons, taverns,
hotels, inns and coffee houses. These entries are included in the 33,000 in Table 6 to make it comparable with
the figure for 1832-34, when those categories formed the final part of the classified directory for London, and
with that for 1839, when they were fully integrated into it.
The total number of entries in a directory will depend on several factors: the size of the catchment area, the
proportion of the streets and business premises surveyed, and the criteria for selecting the occupations for
inclusion. These factors not only explain the differences in the total number of entries between directories for
the same year but also may affect the content of one series of directories over time. For example, in an address
to readers at the beginning of Pigot for 1832-34, the proprietors boast that it contains „an ADDITION of UPWARDS
of TWO THOUSAND MORE STREETS, SQUARES, &c., than appeared in their last edition‟. By extending the
coverage from one edition to the next, accountants practising from newly-included addresses will appear as firsttime entrants in the later directory irrespective of how long they had been in business at those locations.
Treating everyone in this category as recently-established practitioners will create a false impression of the
pattern of growth. This type of problem has had to be ignored.
Table 7 sets out the average annual growth rates in the number of entries for accountants for the five series of
directories for four selected periods. Although the percentages vary considerably between directories, they are
consistent in confirming that the first period had the greatest growth, and that thereafter rates steadily eased off.
The negative growth indicated by Pigot between 1832 and 1839 reflects, to some extent, the reduction in the
total number of entries in this series over that period (see Table 6). To put the growth rates into perspective, the
population of the metropolis more than doubled between 1801 and 1841, while, over a similar period, the total
number of entries in the POLD almost quadrupled (see Table 6) and those for accountants increased over fiftyfold (see Table 5).

Further analysis was undertaken to ascertain the degree of overlap between the entries for accountants in the five
series of directories for the five selected years. Occasionally an entry in two or more directories for the same
year may be similar but not identical. The dissimilarities between entries include: incorrect or alternative
spelling of surnames; different initials or forenames; and, in particular, alternative or out-of-date addresses. In
such cases judgment was required to decide whether or not two or more entries in the different series of
directories should be treated as overlapping ones. More often the name and address of an individual may be
common to two or more directories, but the stated occupations differ. For example, one directory may specify
the occupation as accountant, another as merchant; or someone who is denoted as an auctioneer and accountant
in one directory may be described simply as an auctioneer in another.
The results of the analysis are summarised in Table 8. Lines 1 to 5 show the number of entries unique to any
one series of directories. Lines 6 to 15 show the number recorded in two series, 16 to 25 those recorded in
three, and 26 to 30 those recorded in four. Finally, line 31 shows the number recorded in all five series.

The numbers in Table 8 can be reconciled to those in Table 5 with one exception. Adding the Holden entries
for 1800 in Table 8 (lines 3, 7, 8 and 16) gives a total of 15, one more than that shown in Table 5. There is a
single entry for Mill & Sinclair in Holden, but separate ones for Mill and for Sinclair in Kent. The single entry
in Holden has been treated as two entries in Table 8 (line 8).
Table 8 shows that only a minority of accountants feature in all series of directories for the same year (line 16
for 1800 and 1811, line 31 for 1822, and line 22 for 1832 and 1839), and many appear in just the one (lines 1 to
5). Thus there is little overlap in the coverage between these series of directories and, for each of the selected
years, the total number of entries for accountants in Table 8 is greater, and in most cases much greater, than that
shown by any one directory in Table 5.
So far the analysis has concentrated on the number of entries for accountants, which is more an indication of the
number of practising firms than the number of accountants. If all accountants were sole practitioners there
would be no difference, but when there are partnerships of two or more then the number of line entries will
understate the number of accountants, especially as duplicate entries for partnerships have been excluded from
Tables 5 and 8. The suffix „& Co‟ added to a firm‟s name may indicate that there was more than one partner or
that clerks were employed. Consequently it is not possible to determine how many accountants per se there
were in any one year during the early part of the nineteenth century. In most years the figures will be greater
than those shown in Tables 5 and 8.
No matter how the numbers are computed, there were many more accountants practising in London during the
first four decades of the nineteenth century than previously revealed in the literature. The greatest rate of
increase occurred in the earlier part of this period and slowed towards the end. The reasons for the timing and
pattern of this growth are not easy to identify.
As outlined in the introduction, the average annual number of bankruptcies increased, decade on decade,
between 1790 and 1819 and then declined over the next twenty years. It is difficult to discern any direct
relationship between this pattern and that in the growth in the number of accountants. Equally, Cooper‟s
conjecture that the growth between 1820 and 1843 possibly resulted from the Bankruptcy Act, 1825 is not
supported by the POLD. This suggests a notable increase in the number of accountants between 1820 and 1825,
but little change immediately thereafter; the rapid rise to 160 by 1843 all occurred in the 1840s.
According to Woolf (1912, p. 174):
There is no doubt that the general increase of commerce and expansion of business during the
first half of the nineteenth century contributed in some measure to the growth of the numbers of
those who took up accountancy as a livelihood; but there were other causes which were probably
instrumental, in a greater degree, in bringing about this result.
The first of these causes given by Woolf, and the only one to fall within the period 1800 to 1839, was the
Bankruptcy Act, 1831. This created not only the Bankruptcy Court in London but also official assignees to
administer bankrupts‟ estates. The Lord Chancellor could appoint up to 30 official assignees who had to be
„Merchants, Brokers, or Accountants, or Persons who are or have been engaged in Trade in the Cities of
London or Westminster or the Parts adjacent‟ (s. 22). Nineteen were appointed initially (The Times, 23 April
1832, p. 4a). This first statutory recognition of accountants undoubtedly increased their status, but seems to
have had no immediate impact on their numbers. If anything it may have reduced them very slightly since a few
individuals who previously had been listed in directories as accountants were appointed official assignees and
were so designated in the POLD for 1833; these were: P H Abbott, James Clark and J F Groom. Rather than
influencing the number of accountants, bankruptcies may have affected the balance of work undertaken by
practitioners in any one year.
It is tempting to hypothesise that there is some correlation between the introduction of income tax and the
growth in the number of accountants between 1799 and 1816; unfortunately, there is no evidence to suggest that
practitioners actually engaged in any form of tax work at this time.
The rise in the number of accountants in London between 1800 and 1839 may simply be due to the general
increase in trade, commerce and industry. This created a growing need for a range of basic accountancy
services similar to those advertised by Shortney at the end of the eighteenth century.

LONG-LIVED LONDON ACCOUNTANCY PRACTICES
Only part of the story of the early development of accountancy practices in London is told by the number of line
entries presented year by year in Table 5. The length of time an individual or firm appears in a series of
directories and the changes in the composition of long-lived partnerships are also of interest.
Several accountants practising in London in the last quarter of the eighteenth century continue to be recorded in
nineteenth-century directories, but none features beyond 1822. By contrast, two Bristol firms founded in the
1780s and one Liverpool firm founded in 1796 claim continuous descent, via a number of mergers, to the
present (Boys, 1994, p. 17).
Accountancy practices appearing in the POLD between 1800 and 1839 were traced through successive editions
to determine the number of years an individual or firm continued to be listed; from 1840 onwards the POLD‟s
classified sections were used. These computations were not always straightforward. Sometimes it was difficult
to know whether a run of entries over time referred to the same practice. For example, while a surname
remains unchanged, it could be accompanied by a change in forename or initials together with a change in
address. Sometimes a break of a year or two occurs in a series of entries, particularly when a practice
relocated; occasionally the gap is longer. During such periods there may be an entry for that individual or firm,
but the occupation stated is not that of accountant. It is not known whether these entries indicate a real change
in occupation or merely reflect the vagaries of how compilers of directories chose to designate individuals with
multiple occupations. A break of five years or more was deemed a discontinuity. Other reasonable assumptions
were made about the continuity of practices as and when necessary.
The outcome of the analysis outlined above is as follows. First, between 1800 and 1839 the POLD records 396
accountancy practices, of which 96 continued to be listed beyond 1839. Second, over a third of these 396
individuals or firms featured in the POLD for only one or two years and more than 50% for a maximum of just
four years; over 80% had come and gone within fifteen years. For most, accountancy seems to have been a
transient occupation during the opening decades of the nineteenth century.
At the other extreme, further research revealed that seven firms continued for more than 60 years and that the
development of all bar one of these can be traced through to the present (December 2010). Firms founded
before 1840 are proud of their long standing and several have celebrated significant anniversaries with published
histories. Many of these firms also feature in the literature on the history of accountancy. The genealogy of
each of the long-lived practices is considered in turn, starting with the one deemed to be the oldest. When a
firm‟s descent has already been charted, only brief details of its evolution are given; new information is dealt
with more fully. The headings used give the name of the practice as it first appears in the POLD.
Edw T Jones
The firm which can probably lay claim to being the oldest in London in continuous existence is that founded by
the renowned Edward Thomas Jones. He completed his training as an accountant in Bristol in 1788, which is
taken as the founding date of the firm, but moved to London in 1821 (Hill Vellacott ..., 1988, pp. 5, 9 and 13).
Thereafter Jones‟s practice can trace direct descent to Chantrey Vellacott, which in 1998 changed its name to
Chantrey Vellacott DFK (Hill Vellacott ..., 1988, p. 48; Habgood, 1994, p. 139; Accountancy Age, 26
November 1998, p. 2). Jones does not feature in the POLD until 1823, which is not surprising: directories are
unlikely to be up to date at the time of their publication because of the delay between the collection of data and
the printing of entries.
P H Abbott
P H Abbott first appears as an accountant in the POLD for 1822, a year before Jones‟s initial entry, and thus
Abbott‟s practice may be the older of the two in London. Abbott continued to practise alone until 1826. The
POLD for 1827 shows him in partnership with Wilkinson and from 1828 to 1830 with Borrowdale. A second
entry for Abbott for both 1829 and 1830 and a single one for 1831 record him in practice on his own. The
POLD for 1832 lists the partnership of Abbott, Quilter & Ball at 10½ King‟s Arms Yard, Coleman Street.
William Quilter, according to his obituary, was born in 1808 and at the age of seventeen went to London where
he „was articled to Mr. Abbott, at that time the only accountant of any note. ... and about the year 1832 he
succeeded to Mr. Abbott‟s business, associated with his fellow-clerk, John Ball‟ (The Times, 16 November
14
1888, p. 10e). Peter Harris Abbott, as has been seen, became one of the first official assignees in bankruptcy in
1832 and consequently ceased to practise; for further details of Abbott‟s chequered career, see Edwards (2001).
The firm of Quilter & Ball first features in the POLD for 1833 at 10½ King‟s Arms Yard with similar entries
for 1834 and 1835. Between 1836 and 1838 Quilter is recorded on his own at this address and there are no
entries for Ball. For the years 1839 to 1842 Ball is listed at 10½ King‟s Arms Yard, while Quilter is shown at
62 Moorgate Street, Bank, and also at 10 Artillery Place, Finsbury in 1841 and at 33 Finsbury Square in 1842.
The firm of Quilter & Ball re-appears in 1843 at 62 Moorgate Street and at 33 Finsbury Square. The POLD‟s
classified sections then record these name changes: Quilter & Ball, & Jay & Co, 1846; Quilter, Ball, Jay & Co,
1848; Quilter, Ball & Co, 1851; Quilter, Ball, Jay & Co, 1859; and Quilter, Ball & Co, 1865. These variations
are somewhat curious and are inconsistent with the suggestion made by Bywater (1985, p. 792) that two clerks,
G H Jay and W Crosbie, were admitted to the partnership as a result of the increase in insolvency work during
the commercial crisis of 1847-48. Further investigation shows the firm listed as Quilter, Ball, Jay & Crosbie in
the alphabetical sections of the POLD between 1846 and 1850. The subsequent name changes occurred when
Jay left, re-joined, and left the partnership once more; Crosbie remained a partner, but his name no longer
featured in that of the firm. For a period in 1868 Jay was a partner in Price, Jay, Holyland & Waterhouse, later
Price Waterhouse (Jones, 1995, p. 62).
Quilter, Ball & Co, after further partnership changes, had become Welton & Bond by 1917 and in the following
year was absorbed by Deloitte, Plender, Griffiths & Co, later Deloitte Haskins & Sells (Kilpatrick, 1942, p. 22;
Boys, 1989d, p. 119). The UK firm of Deloitte Haskins & Sells merged with Coopers & Lybrand in 1990 to
form Coopers & Lybrand Deloitte, which was re-named Coopers & Lybrand in 1992 (Accountancy, February
1990, p. 10 and May 1992, p. 16). In most of the rest of the world Deloitte Haskins & Sells had agreed to
merge with Touche Ross & Co in 1989, but the name Deloitte & Touche was not adopted by the UK practice of
Touche Ross & Co until 1996 (Accountancy, February 1996, p. 13). In 1998 Coopers & Lybrand merged with
Price Waterhouse to form PricewaterhouseCoopers, which in 2010 was re-branded as PwC (Accountancy, July
1998, p. 10 and October 2010, p. 10).
Alex Wilson
According to the POLD for 1826, Alexander Wilson was an arbitrator and accountant at 17 Tokenhouse Yard.
In the following year he is shown at 8 Old Jewry and in 1863 at 9 Old Jewry Chambers. He continues to be
recorded at this address up to and including 1891. For one individual to feature in 66 consecutive editions of
the POLD and to remain in practice on his own throughout this period is remarkable. Unfortunately, no further
information about Wilson or the continuation of his business could be uncovered.
Parrinton & Son
In 1978 Viney Merretts published a very brief history. This stated under the heading Viney Price & Goodyear:
„The history of the firm goes back 150 years or more to Joseph Parrinton. There is factual record in the City of
London Directory of 1828 under the entry “Parrinton & Sons, practising accountants, 22 Milk Street”‟ (Viney
Merretts ..., 1978, unpaginated). Although the POLD for 1828 and subsequent years has an entry for this
practice, its name only ever contained a singular „son‟ and the word „practising‟ never featured in the
occupational description. Other directories corroborate this information, except that the first entry for the firm
is recorded in Pigot & Co.’s Metropolitan New Alphabetical Directory for 1827. For subsequent name changes,
not always included in the firm‟s published history, see Habgood (1994, p. 191). In 1980 Viney Merretts
became part of Binder Hamlyn, re-named BDO Binder Hamlyn in 1988 (Accountancy Age, 26 October 1979, p.
2; Accountancy, October 1988, p. 8). While most BDO Binder Hamlyn offices combined with Stoy Hayward to
form BDO Stoy Hayward, others, including London, joined Arthur Andersen in 1994 (Accountancy, August
1994, p. 13 and November 1994, p. 13; Rogerson, 1994, p. 3). Arthur Andersen was re-branded as Andersen
in 2001 and in the following year its UK offices were acquired by Deloitte & Touche (Accountancy, April 2001,
p. 15; Quick, 2002, p. 25). Deloitte & Touche adopted Deloitte as its brand name in 2003 and as its legal name
in 2008 (Hanney, 2003, p. 64; The London Gazette, Company Law Supplement, 9 December 2008, p. 905).
Dacre Threlkeld
Dacre Threlkeld first appears in the addenda to the POLD for 1829 designated as an accountant and auctioneer
at 32 Cheapside. However, he was in practice before this because a partnership between Samuel Tarrant and
15
Dacre William Threlkeld, accountants, auctioneers and appraisers, 26 Friday Street, was dissolved in 1828 (The
London Gazette, 28 March 1828, p. 616). Tarrant features in the POLD between 1819 and 1833, but with
never a mention of Threlkeld. Entries in the POLD show Threlkeld continued in practice on his own at several
locations, including 4 Wood Street, until 1839 (in this year his name is mis-spelt Threkeld), by which time he
was at 2 Star Court, Bread Street. At the latter address there is a Henry Threlkeld (also mis-spelt Threkeld) in
the POLD for 1840. Henry does not appear in earlier editions of the POLD, but in Pigot for both 1838 and
1839 he is classified as an accountant at 4 Wood Street and in Robson for 1839 he is listed as „accountant &c‟ at
2 Star Court. Given the two addresses in common, it is possible that Dacre and Henry were in business
together. At the very least, Henry Threlkeld was in practice as an accountant in the late 1830s.
By his final entry in the POLD for 1846 Henry Threlkeld had re-located to 35 King Street, Cheapside. Also
recorded at this address for the years 1845 to 1848 was William Edwards. However, a partnership must have
existed between Threlkeld and Edwards since notice of its dissolution was given in 1845 (The London Gazette,
20 May 1845, p. 1507). According to his obituary, William Edwards commenced practice in 1843, „having in
part succeeded to the business of his brother-in-law, Mr. Threlkeld‟ (The Accountant, 10 January 1885, p. 15).
The POLD for both 1849 and 1850 has an entry for Edwards & Price at 5 Gresham Street. This partnership
between William Edwards and Samuel Lowell Price was dissolved on 24 December 1849, which, traditionally,
is taken as the foundation date of Price Waterhouse (Jones, 1995, pp. 25 and 28).
The POLD shows Edwards as a sole practitioner between 1851 and 1854. Jones (1981, p. 34; 1986, p. 582;
1995, p. 29, fig. 4) suggests that William Turquand may have been in partnership for a brief period with
William Edwards, but this was not the case. The partnership of Turquand & Edwards, recorded in the POLD
for 1852 and 1853, was between William Turquand and Edward Watkin Edwards. This is made clear under the
entry for Edward Watkin Edwards in the alphabetical section of the POLD for 1853, where it states „see
Turquand & Edwards‟. Jones (1981, p. 34; 1986, p. 582) also states that William Turquand was an official
assignee in the Court of Bankruptcy, but the only evidence presented in support of this is an entry in the POLD
for 1846. William Turquand‟s father, also William Turquand, was one of the first official assignees and held
this post for seventeen years until his sudden death in November 1849 (Crisp, 1902, p. 44); there is no record
of William Turquand junior being appointed an official assignee. Therefore the William Turquand listed in the
POLD for 1846 would seem to be the father rather than the son. Ironically, it was Edward Watkin Edwards
who followed in his father‟s footsteps and became an official assignee. His father, Edward Edwards, like
William Turquand senior, was one of the first official assignees (The Times, 23 April 1832, p. 4a). In August
1853 Edward Watkin Edwards became an official assignee, having acted since November 1844 as an assistant in
that role for his invalid father under the authority of the Lord Chancellor (Report from the Select Committee ...,
1864, p. 117). William Turquand junior was appointed as one of the liquidators of Overend, Gurney & Co
when it failed in 1866. Coincidentally, in 1869 Edward Watkin Edwards gave evidence in the examination into
the charge of conspiracy against six directors of that company. Edwards confirmed that he had been „an
accountant and a partner with Mr. Turquand‟ (The Times, 25 January 1869, p. 10a); later it was reported that
„the partnership as accountants of Mr. Turquand, the liquidator, with Mr. Edward Watkin Edwards, official
assignee, terminated in 1852‟ (The Times, 28 January 1869, p. 10f). It transpired that Edwards had received
remuneration from Overend, Gurney & Co in breach of the rule which prohibited an official assignee from
partaking in other employment or business activities and consequently he was dismissed from office by the Lord
Chancellor (The Times, 3 March 1869, p. 11a).
William Edwards continued in practice after 1854 when he was in partnership once more; the POLD records the
following name changes: Edwards & Smith, 1855; Edwards, Smith & James, 1859; Edwards & James, 1860;
Edwards, James & Co, 1867; and Edwards, James & Stone, 1868. As it happens, the last two entries are
shown as Edwards Jas & Co and Edwards Jas & Stone, indicating confusion between forenames and surnames,
a problem which, no doubt, occurred more generally. Edwards, James & Co was formed on 1 January 1866
when H T Edwards, William‟s son, and W A Stone entered into practice with W Edwards and A A James; a
year later H T Edwards left this partnership and its name became Edwards, James & Stone (James‟s obituary in
The Accountant, 18 March 1905, p. 314). An interesting link to the past is provided by H T Edwards‟s
forenames, Henry Threlkeld (List of Members, 1881). Before 1866 H T Edwards had been in partnership with
William Cash, who had started in practice on his own in 1861 (Deloittes Newsletter, 1 May 1974, unpaginated);
Cash‟s first entry in the POLD does not appear until 1863. Between 1864 and 1866 the POLD has entries for
Cash & Edwards; in 1867 Cash is once more shown as a sole practitioner when H T Edwards was a partner in
Edwards, James & Co. H T Edwards, on leaving this firm, went back into partnership with William Cash, the
POLD for 1868 showing an entry for Cash & Edwards.
16
The POLD for 1869 not only has an entry for Edwards, James & Stone but also has two other entries of
relevance: one for Wm Edwards and one for James, Edwards, Cash & Stone. The explanation for these
overlapping entries is timing. The partnership of Edwards, James & Stone was dissolved, probably in 1868.
William Edwards continued to practise alone and then as Wm Edwards & Co (POLD, 1870). James and Stone
went into partnership with Cash & [H T] Edwards to form James, Edwards, Cash & Stone; this practice divided
in 1873 to become James & Edwards and Cash & Stone (James‟s obituary in The Accountant, 18 March 1905,
p. 314; Stone‟s obituary in The Accountant, 9 September 1911, p. 326; POLD, 1874). The three firms which
had been established by 1873 can all chart their descent to the present: Wm Edwards & Co to Clark Whitehill,
re-named first Horwath Clark Whitehill in 1998 and then Crowe Clark Whitehill in 2010 (Boys, 1989c, p. 96;
Accountancy, December 1997, p. 18; The London Gazette, Company Law Supplement, 12 October 2010, p.
2285); James & Edwards to Arthur Andersen & Co (Boys, 1989a, p. 101), now Deloitte; and Cash & Stone to
Deloitte Haskins & Sells (Boys, 1989d, pp. 118-19), now PwC.
Broom & Bagshaw
The first entry for the partnership of Broom & Bagshaw, accountants, appears in the POLD for 1835, but the
earliest record of this practice was found in Robson for 1831. By 1839 Broom & Bagshaw were operating from
35 Coleman Street and the firm which continued at this address changed its name, according to the POLD, as
follows: Broom, Bagshaw & Westcott, 1855; Bagshaw & Westcott, 1866; Bagshaw, Westcott & Johnson, 1868;
Westcott [&] Johnson, 1874; William Westcott, 1875; and William Westcott & Co, 1878. Habgood (1994, pp.
196-7) states that Westcott began to practise about 1853, but does not suggest that he was admitted to an existing
partnership; no changes in his firm‟s name are given before 1880. Westcott‟s obituary confirms that he trained
with, and became a partner in, Broom & Bagshaw, adding, less helpfully, that he „commenced practice for
himself in 1853‟ (The Accountant, 10 December 1898, p. 1203). William Westcott & Co eventually became
Westcott Wilson, which in 1988 merged with Blakemore, Elgar & Co to form Blakemores (Habgood, 1994, p.
197; Accountancy Age, 28 January 1988, p. 10). In 1996 Blakemores joined Moores Rowland, which in 1999
became part of BDO Stoy Hayward, re-named BDO in 2009 (Accountancy Age, 26 September 1996, p. 3;
Accountancy, March 1999, p. 6; Accountancy Age, 1 October 2009, p. 2).
Evidence would suggest that, after the dissolution of Broom, Bagshaw & Westcott, Broom continued to practise.
In the POLD for 1866 there is not only the entry for Bagshaw & Westcott but also one for Broom, Son & Hays,
first located at 80 Coleman Street and then, eleven years later, at 53 Coleman Street. This partnership had
become Broom, Hays & Akers by 1882 and Hays, Akers & Hays by 1889 (List of Members, 1882 and 1889).
Hays, Akers & Hays merged with Allan, Charlesworth & Co in 1974 to form Hays Allan, which in 2001
combined with MacIntyre & Co to form haysmacintyre (The Accountant, 3 January 1974, p. 35; Accountancy,
November 2000, p. 9).
The history of the Bagshaw branch of Broom & Bagshaw is more uncertain. Habgood (1994, p. 87) states that
the firm which was known as Bagshaws from 1987 had been founded by William Edward Bagshaw in the 1850s
and that by 1865 he was practising under the name of Bagshaw & Westcott. The alphabetical sections of the
POLD (1843-65) establish that it was William Bagshaw who was a partner first in Broom & Bagshaw and then
in Broom, Bagshaw & Westcott. Once the partnership changed its name to Bagshaw & Westcott in 1866 the
POLD provides no information about the forenames of Bagshaw. However, a notice in The Times (10 February
1868, p. 5b) reveals that William Bagshaw of 35 Coleman Street died in March 1867 and that one of his
executors was William Edward Bagshaw, presumably a son, of 54 Old Broad Street. There may, therefore, be
some confusion between William Bagshaw and William Edward Bagshaw. It was the former who was a partner
in Bagshaw & Westcott until his death, at about which time Johnson became a partner in that firm. An obituary
for one of W E Bagshaw‟s sons (The Accountant, 8 December 1945, p. 285) suggests that the firm, called
Bagshaw & Co at that time, was founded in 1860 by W E Bagshaw. It also claims that at the time of writing
there had only ever been four partners in the firm and Westcott was not one of them. It is not until 1877 that
the POLD records an entry for Wm Edwd Bagshaw, somewhat curiously, at 35 Coleman Street, the same
address from which Westcott was practising. In 1991 Bagshaws became part of Moore Stephens (Habgood,
1994, p. 87).
Finally, when the partnership of Westcott & Johnson was dissolved, the latter, according to the POLD for 1875,
set up in practice as Charles Johnson & Co at 24 Coleman Street. The firm continued under this name and at
this address until Johnson‟s death in 1899 (POLD, 1876-80; List of Members, 1881-99; Roll of Membership,
1880, register no. 115).
17
George C Begbie
George Coryndon Begbie first features in the POLD for 1838, having commenced business as an accountant in
October the previous year (A Hundred Years of Accountancy ..., 1937, p. 7). Begbie‟s practice evolved with
several changes in name to become Begbies in 1982 (Habgood, 1994, pp. 90-1). The firm‟s website outlines
more recent developments: Begbies merged in 2002 with Everett Chettle & Co to form Begbies Everett Chettle
and in 2006 with Hope Agar to form Begbies Chettle Agar.
An anomaly
The literature suggests that another firm should have been captured by the present study. According to Howitt
(1966, p. 239), Josolyne, Miles & Co had as its founder a Cornishman named Honey who had practised „in
Ironmonger Lane for some years before he and his son moved, in 1832, to 28 King Street, Cheapside‟. Not all
these details are substantiated by the POLD or any other directory. A John Honey of 14 Ironmonger Lane first
appears in the POLD for 1849 and there are subsequent entries for this practice, under various names, at the
same address until 1868. In the following year the partnership, by then Honey & Humphrys, is recorded at 28
King Street, Cheapside. This conflicting evidence indicates that Howitt is incorrect because the POLD,
although perhaps not totally reliable, is unlikely to have contained out-of-date addresses for nearly 40 years!
Josolyne, Miles & Co is now part of Ernst & Young (Boys, 1989b, p. 102; Accountancy, August 1989, p. 12).
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
The existing literature, quoting figures taken from three different series of directories, implies that there was a
significant increase in the number of accountants practising in London during the last quarter of the eighteenth
century: from one in 1775 to five in 1790 and to eleven in 1799. However, the evidence presented in this
study, using time-series data on a comparable and consistent basis, shows that there was little or no growth in
the number of accountants listed in London directories over the period 1775 to 1799.
On the other hand, this survey has found that there were more, and in many years substantially more, practising
accountants in London during the first four decades of the nineteenth century than the literature has hitherto
suggested. The current study has also shown that the most rapid growth occurred during the first half of this
period. Bankruptcy legislation in 1825 and 1831 seems to have had little or no effect on the numbers and there
is no evidence to indicate that the number of bankruptcies or the introduction of income tax had any significant
influence at the time.
An analysis of accountancy firms which commenced business in London before 1840 shows that most lasted for
only a few years. At the other extreme, six can be traced through to the present. New information has been
presented about long-lived practices and details about their early history have been corrected.
This study of a single occupational group highlights potential problems for the business historian when using
trade directories. They are unlikely to be comprehensive or to be fully up to date at the time of publication.
Apart from transcription and typographical errors, duplication of entries, mis-spellings and mis-classifications,
directories suffer from other failings. First, when a single volume contains more than one section, for example
both an alphabetical commercial directory and a classified trades‟ directory, the entries in each for a particular
occupational group may not be identical in number or detail, and one section may provide additional information
not found in the other. Second, although a classified directory provides the business historian with a ready set
of data about a particular occupation, there can be a loss of detail when individuals engage in more than one
business activity, but are listed under a single classification. Third, changes in geographical coverage in one
series of directories over time make it difficult to determine the true level of growth in any one occupational
group. Fourth, the number of names listed in a directory varies from one series to another for the same year
and, because of the lack of overlap, just using the one with most entries will not capture all those in a particular
occupation. Finally, even when a firm or individual appears in more than one directory for the same year, the
stated occupation may differ; this may reflect the fact that the firm or individual was engaged in more than one
trade, or it may reflect different compilers‟ editorial policy.
Even with these limitations trade directories provide valuable data for business historians if used with
circumspection.

APPENDIX B
ACCOUNTANTS LISTED IN LONDON TRADE DIRECTORIES, 1800-1839
EXPLANATORY NOTES
1.
Listed at the beginning of each table are the directories from which entries have been extracted. All the
directories are reproduced on microfilm by Microform Academic Publishers, Wakefield, apart from
those marked I, G or B. The item marked I was consulted in the Institute of Historical Research Library,
University of London, those marked G in the Guildhall Library, City of London, and that marked B in
the Bishopsgate Institute, London. Occasionally pages are missing from directories or have been omitted
inadvertently in the microfilming process. When it was found that a microfilm was deficient, a hard
copy of the directory was consulted in the Guildhall Library, City of London, which holds not only the
originals of those filmed but also more than one copy of some editions.
2.
When a directory states in its title that it covers two or three years, rather than just one, entries have been
assigned to the first of those years.
3.
Unless otherwise stated, entries have been taken from alphabetical directories and any addenda. To
indicate an entry is from the addenda the year is underlined, or if it is identical or nearly identical to the
main entry then the year is both underlined and shown in bold.
4.
When a line entry in a table covers more than one year, the fullest forenames or initials appearing in a
directory in any one or combination of those years are shown. A few entries give only a surname. All
variations in the spelling of surnames are listed. Occasionally a name appears to be out of strict
alphabetical order in a directory as a result of a typographical error. When this occurs, the
corresponding entry in a table has been amended to reflect how that name should have been spelt given
its alphabetical position in the directory. Changed or added letters are underlined; those which may be
superfluous are shown in parentheses. An alteration may apply to only one year or to several in a line
entry.
5.
Occupations are often shown in abbreviated form in the directories; these are written out in full in the
tables. All changes in occupation are given, except (i) when „accountant‟ replaces „accomptant‟, or vice
versa, and (ii) when the only change is the order in which combined occupations are recorded.
6.
Addresses are often shown in abbreviated form in the directories; these are written out in full in the
tables, except that common abbreviations are used for road, lower, great, etc. Information from all the
years represented by any one line entry in a table has been used to provide the most detailed address.
When there are variations in successive editions of directories, particularly in the second line of an
address, the alternatives are shown separated by an oblique. There are different or incorrect spellings of
some street names and apostrophes are used inconsistently in directories. These variations are reflected
in the tables, except that if a change occurs during the period covered by a line entry then only one
variant is shown.
7.
Ampersands have replaced „and‟ throughout.
8.
Certain reasonable assumptions have been made about the continuation of practices. Continuing
practices may run over a page break in a table. A name change may mean that entries for a continuing
practice are separated within a table, in which case notes at the end provide a link between the two sets
of entries.
9.
A directory may contain what are believed to be duplicate entries. A duplicate entry may be grouped
together with its counterpart or it may be identified in a note at the end of a table.
The above amendments and standardisations make it important to consult
the original source directory if an entry is to be quoted.

The entries listed below have been extracted from the street directory in Johnstone's London Commercial Guide ... (1817) and the addenda in the reprint (1818).
